CPTD Courses for Teachers

CPTD Courses for Teachers

Embury Institute for Higher Education offers a number of Continuing Professional Teacher Development (CPTD) short courses as part of professional development for practicing educators.

PLEASE NOTE

A CPTD Short Course is meant for up-skilling teachers personally and professionally. Teachers will receive a certificate that is SACE endorsed with Professional Development (PD) points. The short course is not to be confused with a full qualification, but it is desirous for every teacher or teacher assistant to aim for the full qualification required by the profession.

The courses offered in 2019 are listed in the table below.

According to the South African Hearing Institute, approximately 1.2 million children in sub-Saharan Africa between the ages of five and 14 suffer from hearing loss in both ears. Children who are deaf or suffer from hearing loss require special education and quality teaching to assist them with their special educational needs.

Embury identified the need for quality inclusive education for deaf and language-delayed children and partnered with the Fulton School for the Deaf and other specialists in the field to develop this comprehensive SACE approved short course.

As a teacher of deaf children or children who are language-delayed, you will be required to have the necessary understanding and skills to assist children with special hearing needs. In this course you will learn about disability, communication and deafness, South African Sign Language (SASL), diagnosis and intervention of deaf and language-delayed children, teaching the multiple-disabled child, as well as various educational models and debates in the field of Deaf Education. You will also be instructed in offering counselling and support, as well as how to practically promote language creativity.

Physical Education improves the developmental, social and healthy living skills of learners, and is a compulsory part of the CAPS Life Skills curriculum. However, most schools in South Africa do not have specialised Physical Education teachers. Most schools rely on the skills of classroom teachers to translate the Physical Education curriculum into sound personal and social developmental activities for learners. Therefore, classroom teachers must be able to plan, prepare and present Physical Education lessons and activities in a fun and informative way that caters for learners with diverse and special needs.

This CPTD short course is aimed at all Foundation and Intermediate Phase teachers who would like to become skilled in planning and presenting Physical Education lessons and activities, and who are passionate about improving the physical and social education provided to children.

How did you hear about us?

What is CPTD?

Continuing Professional Teacher Development (commonly known as CPTD) is the system that helps teachers grow professionally.

In the same way that professional people (such as doctors or lawyers) are expected to develop their skills and knowledge every year after they have qualified, teachers are now also expected to further develop their professional skills.

The South African Council for Educators (SACE) created the CPTD system for all South African teachers. From 2016, all high school teachers must achieve CPTD points in order to meet the mandatory requirements of the CPTD system, while the requirements for primary school teachers start in 2017.

Teachers must achieve at least 150 points every 3 years by participating in various activities, such as doing short courses, reading or writing education articles, attending workshops, or mentoring other teachers. These activities can be initiated by the teacher, the school, or externally (such as when you do a short course through Embury).

What is SACE?

The South African Council for Educators was established to uphold the education profession. SACE registers all qualified South African teachers (which means you need a SACE registration number before you can teach). SACE also manages the CPTD system and encourages the development of teachers through the system.

Each teacher will have a Professional Development Portfolio (PDP) developed according to SACE guidelines, which will act as a record of your development journey.
